In most people, self-esteem varies. Some days people feel confident and capable. Other days they have self doubt. When low self-esteem is chronic or pervasive, that is the time to reach out for help. It’s important to treat low self-esteem before it leads to other psychological issues like depression and anxiety.
Low self-esteem has roots in things like events, relationships, or behaviors, both past and present. Working with a therapist, patients can start to understand the source of their insecurities. In many cases, it is rooted in things like past events, relationships or behaviors. Therapy gives patients a chance to talk through and process their experiences, while recognizing patterns and coming up with ways to treat and move past those insecurities.
Low self-esteem is easy to brush off. In fact, many people with low self-esteem don’t think they deserve treatment. But insecurity isn’t a character trait, it’s a mental health condition, and left untreated it can lead to other more serious mental health issues like depression and anxiety.
